DebPenny--

This may not be the place for this post, but I wanted to make sure you see it. I have been on TSP for two weeks, having done Atkins for three weeks, with two weeks of uncertainty in between. I lost two pounds my first week of TSP, and I was very pleased. But last week I gained a pound. I suspect that perhaps I became to liberal with carbs. Using TSP's guide of 30 grams of carbs in a balanced meal, I added fruit to my meals and sometimes a 6 gram brown ricecake. Maybe 30 grams is too much for my activity level. I power walk 45 minutes on a treadmill six days a week (burning 500 calories) and do some strength exercises with weights each morning. But maybe that is not enough to handled that level of carbs. So I'm cutting back.

Have you had weeks where weight loss stalled or even went slightly in reverse? Needless to say, I was disappointed to see the one-pound gain.

Thanks.

Sheldon
